Our stay was from Christmas Eve for 3 nights. Palm Springs is bustling at that time of year but this place retained an air of desert calm. From the impeccably kept patios and pool area to the soothing, very spacious interiors, the overall effect was completely relaxing. The managers are so nice and helpful, the rates are very reasonable. I... More

What a discovery this was! Small hotel with 50's charm with units around the courtyard and pool, and tucked in against the mountain. It is only two blocks away from Palm Springs downtown and in the midst of mid-century residential architecture. We had easy access to restaurants, museums, entertainment, and walks. Our room was spotlessly clean and the property well... More

The Desert Hills is an excellent small hotel. It has a great setting tucked up against the mountain in "Old Palm Springs." It is small, quiet, and within easy walking distance to the downtown core. Arranged around a pool and hot tub area, the rooms are nicely appointed, clean and comfortable. The hotel staff is friendly without being intrusive and... More

Found this place online when looking for a small, mellow, mid-century modern place to stay near downtown. Desert Hills has it all! Built in 1956... it has the awesome architecture of that time. The place is small and laid back with 14 rooms surrounding the pool. The place is very clean and well taken care of... especially considering the age.... More

The place is a no kids - no pets place (I'm a fan) and right up against the mountains. The pool never closes (we were... More

Desert Hills has a perfect location nestled up against the mountains with very nice views. A retro style one story hotel with all rooms facing the pool. I went to Palm Springs with my 3 girlfriends who are all over 35. I think we were still too young for this place because we were asked to "keep it down" by... More

Warm sun, deep blue skies, swaying palms, humming birds, cool pool, fabulous accommodation, great service - the perfect recipe for a relaxing break! We have travelled extensively all over the world and were really impressed with this lovely little hotel. It's in a great setting, at the foot of the mountains but within walking distance of Palm Springs town centre... More

We chose the Desert Hills because of its location and it was ideal. Very quiet but only a short walk to downtown palm springs. Its in a beautiful setting by the mountains in a nice residential area near the tennis club. The room we had was very large with a lounge area and kitchen, the bed was so comfortable -... More

My husband and I stayed at the Desert Hills over New Years Weekend! After having gone to Palm Springs MANY TIMES over the years, this is absolutely one of our Top Hotels! This hotel is extremely clean, modern retro and close to everything we love! While this was our first stay here I can assure you that it definitely will... More
